Sorry to read of your problem
How about a raw food shop/website, I don't know but I think they sell raw bones - maybe you could buy from them and cook them.

How about chicken? You could boil up legs or wings maybe, or even the whole carcase, use the meat for something else and just give her the broth after the fat‘s been skimmed. I always boil up the turkey leftovers at Christmas and keep the stock in the freezer for doggy emergencies ;)

Henley Raw Dog Food sell some bones and even ready made bone broth

Morrisons are meant to be good for bones etc for dogs too.
Chicken carcasses would be fine too - use the chicken and boil up the bones
-
Whatever you do you must not feed cooked chicken bones, but raw are fine.

https://honeysrealdogfood.com/product/broth/ Honey's sell bone broth. What about poaching plain white fish in water and see if that will tempt her?

I wouldn’t ever give bones or bone broth to my Olive due to her having had pancreatitis, it’s impossible to measure the amount of fat within bone. I would try her on white fish with a little vegetable stock over. Or puréed veggies.
